Trip Report: Mount Ascutney from W. Windsor TF

[gereddunne]

Found a few new ways up and down this old backcountry favorite. And it's all backcountry since they haven't mowed the resort trails in what feels like a dozen years.

Would love to hear from anyone who has been up east or south side trails. It wold be great to know how thick things are on those aspects.

Thanks for the Ascutney stoke. I know nothing about backcountry but Ascutney has always been one of my favorites to hit a few days after a storm..........................so sad to see it sit dormant.
So much potential.

Ascutney is/was a good mountain. Problem is it's in the valley & doesn't receive or hold as much snow as other areas in the Greens.
